As mother and son face the prognosis of her developing Alzheimer’s disease, the pair begin to unfold a family saga marked by ingenuity, creativity, and resilience. Matthew pieces together the untold story, spanning three generations and two World Wars, of a Norwegian sardine-packer — his grandmother — who founded a handicraft empire in Loyalist territory. At the same time, his mother rearranges her past, her memory spinning and embroidering family history. A heart-rending and powerful story of three generations of a family in a small Maritime town in which shared and contested memories are woven, unraveled, and rewoven.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mark Blagrave (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Cormorant Books |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2024-08-06","offer_id":45521036345599,"sku":"9781770867567","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_2db170c3-063d-4b96-b77e-3d886bffc706.jpg?v=1719287021","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781770867567","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
